You know, of course, that “Everything old is new again” refers to the music and not to the host, right? An hour of young musicians and singers swinging new life into old songs and old-fashioned instruments. Don’t try to thank me. Just doing my job.

Great to be back and doing a live show. Hope you feel the same. Tonight was another in our series of “No Listeners left Behind,” a review of the declarative sentence. In weeks to come we’ll be discussing, “Dangling Participles: Is Cosmetic Surgery The Only Answer?” Get there early for a good seat!
